'Neuropolitics' Consultants and Hacking

Digital Planet

Click talks to Maria Pocovi, the founder of Emotion Research Lab in Valencia, Spain, and the science writer Elizabeth Svoboda about the rise of 'neuropolitics': the use of technology to gauge the concerns of voters and to influence the direction in which they will vote. Facebook has been accused of not doing enough to halt the rise of hate speech directed at the Rohingya people on its platform. Click talks to reporter Aela Callan about her research in Myanmar on this subject and how she tried to alert Facebook. The curator of a new exhibition at the V&A in London joins Click to explore the design and culture of contemporary videogames. Marie Foulston discusses how the show charts design in games and its remarkable innovations.
